u.s. senate intelligence committee that's right it's not new russians have been conducting information warfare for decades but what is now is the advent of social media tools with the power to magnify propaganda. and fake news on a scale that was unimaginable back in the days of the berlin wall you've created these platforms and now they are being misused and you have to be the ones to do something about it or we will what you're doing by allowing this fake stuff to come across this misleading this damaging information is threatening the security and really softening of our nation i wish your c.e.o.'s would be here they need to ask answer for this after repeated pressure from congress facebook disclosed last september that four hundred seventy fake accounts link to a shadowy company with ties to the kremlin the internet research agency had spent some hundred thousand dollars to purchase more than three thousand ads most on divisive hot button issues this count promoted to protect his causes included post many would characterize as anti immigration oriented most of the russian sponsored faceboo

u.s. senate intelligence committee isn't likely to change that. it's released a report that says it sees no reason to dispute the intelligence community's conclusion of russian involvement in the u.s. election. it goes on to say that president vladimir putin sought to boost mr. trump's election chances and was trying to discredit his rival hillary clinton. now cnn's matthew chance is in the russian capital as these crucial meetings are taking place. matthew, good to see you. congressional delegations, codels as they're often referred to of u.s. lawmakers touring the world is not unusual. what's different about this visit to moscow? >> well, you're right. it's not unusual for congressional delegations to tour the world but in recent years it's been unusual for them to visit russia. it's been several years since such a high level congressional delegation came to russia. and that's being seen in this country as a good sign in terms of the future of the bilateral relationship. it's a mark of just how shaky that relationship has been. there hasn't been

u.s. intelligence community is the view of the u.s. senate intelligence committee so i just wonder where you stand i do believe that the russian government interfered in the u.s. elections so that is not a hoax to investigate that however the russians didn't impact the election that i know of as far as swinging the vote i just think hillary. and was not a very good candidate and she didn't go to places in the midwest where she should've went it's not a national election it's a fifty state election and president trump won handily in the electoral college what i don't get is this is an investigation that's produced in just over a year more than thirty indictments five guilty pleas including the president's former national security adviser his deputy campaign chairman his campaign foreign policy adviser it doesn't sound like a hoax or a witch hunt it sounds like you were working with a bunch of confessed criminals to get donald trump elected. well what i had said was that the collusion narrative is a hoax i say it's like that because it's rounded up a bunch of people

u.s. senate intelligence committee is supporting the findings by u.s. vladimir putin meddled in the 2016 presidential campaign. the panel says putin and the russian government developed a preference for donald trump. the president tweeted that russia said it did not interfere . there's a report that epa administrator scott pruitt asked president trump the fire attorney general jeff sessions so he could take his job. trump advisors shut down the idea. global news 24 hours a day on air and on tic toc at twitter powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more guy: thankuntries. you very much indeed. backling plans to scale the carriers global ambitions. generated by his predecessor. cranny. to manus point in aunctuation broader transformation program. we have a wide range of businesses. we've got interest in our travel management business. interest in etihad engineering. a,have partners such as jet waze, virgin australia. seychelles. in the past, we had the complete management structure that set over the top of that and pete has done an incredib

u.s. intelligence apparatus, and the senate intelligence committee. the house intelligence committee broke a little bit. they've been definitely more, it's felt on the president's side in this. it's been a much more partisan at fear over there for the entirety of these investigations. the senate, on the other hand, the republicans and democrats have been working together. and it's interesting that this is a bipartisan committee putting this out, that there is a republican's name attached to this finding is an incredibly important thing. and it just shows you that there are not -- not all republicans have sort of bought into questioning the intelligence community in the way the president has. >> but we know the president for years believes what he believes and he has confidence in his own gut instincts and has said again and again he's cast doubt on whether russia had anything to do with this election. listen. >> i mean, it could be russia but it could be china or lots of other people. it could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds. o

u.s. intelligence community and senate intelligence committee which is run by a republican, but that i actually the right and of course, i think the reason for that is because it makes sense to donald trump and his world view which is acknowledging any sense that the election was interfered with by the russians means in his mind he is somehow invalidated as president, even though that's not what it means, he's unable to do that. he can't see the forest through the trees. >> the reporting on this and criticism from democrats, republicans, like supporters to him is all fake. it's all fake news. >> yeah. >> but we're going to talk about some of that reporting and some of his response and vladimir putin's response, as well, coming up. don't go anywhere. it can grow out of control, disrupting business and taking on a life of its own. its multi-cloud complexity creating friction... and slowing innovation. with software-defined solutions, like hpe oneview, you can tame the it monster. hewlett packard enterprise. less complexity. more visibility. this is a story about mail and packages. and it's also a

u.s. intelligence community, the bipartisan senate intelligence committee, president trump's own director of national intelligence, all support that intelligence assessment that russia, both in the past intended to influence the election and is taking steps going forward to influence the u.s. elections and all other western democracies, so we don't know what the president is actually going to say, we don't know whether or not the readout will be accurate. >> just so important, this conversation. kerry cordero, thank you, david chalion thank you. just hours from now, the president's trade war with china gets real. find out what happens when u.s. tariffs on chinese goods kick in. >>> and police were called in oregon after a woman was seen doing something suspicious in her own neighborhood. turns out the woman is a cann g candidate for state law maker and she was just campaigning in her direct. and they greeted me as they always do. sergeant baker, how are you? they were on it. it was unbelievable. having insurance is something everyone needs, but having usaa- now that's a privilege. we're t

holiday eve, we've had a no notice surprise drop of this little bombshell from the intelligence committee in the u.s. senate. quote, the senate select committee on intelligence is conducting a bipartisan investigation into a wide range of russian activities relating to the 2016 u.s. presidential election. while elements of the investigation are ongoing, the committee is releasing initial unclassified findings on a rolling basis as distinct pieces of the investigation conclude. the committee has now concluded an in-depth review of the intelligence community assessment produced by the cia, the nsa and the fbi in january 2017 on russian interference in the 2016 u.s. presidential election. the committee has initial findings to share with the american people. the committee finds that the intelligence community assessment about russian meddling in the election is, quote, a sound intelligence product. quote, in all of the reviews with those who drafted and prepared the intelligence community assessment, the committee heard consistently that analysts were under no politically motivated pressure to reach any conclus

laura: key senate committee has agreed with u.s. intelligence services that russia meddled in the 2016 election with the aim of helping donald trump. in is a rare bipartisan fi between top republicans and top democrs on an issue that divides the u.s. government. the review found that the meddling was more extensive than originally thoht. ben rhodes was president obama's senior foreign policy adviser when moscow was meddling, and he has just written a new book, "the world as it is." he spoke to katty kay and christian fraser earlier today. katty: the senat committee has now found thatru ian meddling in the 2016 election was expensive and th extensive -- was extensive and sophisticated, and actually oes far beyond the findin the u.s. intelligence committee -- community of 2017. how much did you know when you were in the white house in the in-up to the 2016 election? ben: well, the tru a lot less than i know now. what i knew then is that the thrussians were meddling i election and were doing so to harm hillary clinton and help donaldrump. they hack

u.s. senate in 2010. he serves on the committees of foreign intelligence. also serves on the committee's foreign relations, appropriations and ageing. prior to his election to the u.s. senate he served as speaker of the florida house of representatives from 2007 to 2009. leading today's chat is jill dougherty, who was a foreign affairs correspondent for cnn over three decades, including a decade as bureau chief in moscow, which i think is pertinent for today. she currently hangs her hat as a fellow at the kennan institute, where she's researching russia immediate and soft power. so with that, the floor is yours. >> so everybody can hear me, i take it? what timing? i'm sorry? [ inaudible ] >> okay. so if you can keep phones down. here we go. what timing, as fred said. incredible. i think maybe what we ought to do is start with the breaking news and then go into the larger discussion, which is really the important thing long term. what can be done about all of this interference. but beginning with the news conference, which i hope most people saw, or at least

intelligence committee, the u.s. department of justice and the house and senate intelligence committees. i don't know why he is doing it. perhaps he has an affinity for foreign strong men like vladimir putin or perhaps he is embarrassed that putin helped him win the election or maybe something even more nefarious. what's clear now is that president trump is going to continue in this vain, defining deviancy down and pushing the limits of our laws until the american people tell him it's time to stop. >> gentlemen, thank you. >> and when the president met vladimir putin today, it was a chance, a chance to call out russia for crossing the line again and again. for meddling -- excuse me, attacking our election. for annexing crimea. for supporting a syrian dictator who has slaughtered his own people. i could go on. i'll just let the president speak for himself and let you hear what he did not say. >> do you hold russia at all accountable for anything in particular? if so, what would you consider them, that they are responsible for? >> yes, i do. i hold both countries responsible. i think that

u.s. intelligence community, that is the consensus of the senate intelligence committee, republicans and democratsnt throughout all of this as we know has sided with the russians, with the naysayers, with the skeptics of the investigation, rather than just letting this investigation move forward. i think when the president stands next to vladimir putin here, i think this will be a critical moment in his presidency. because it will be essentially a moment in time where the world is watching and waiting to find out whether or not donald trump can step out of the role of the antagonist, of somebody who is very skilled in terms of marketing and being a reality tv star and can he be the president of the united states defending all americans and their democracy that they hold so dear? i think that -- it's hard to wrap your arms around how big this moment is. i think it's that kind of moment for the president of the united states. we're going to find out in a few moments. vladimir putin as we know, this is not his first rodeo. he has dealt with u.s. president after u.s. president. he denied these things

the radar this holidayek the first was the official report from the senate intelligence committee supporting the conclusion three u.sintelligence agencies, that determined that donald trump was helped by the russians in the 2016 elecon. e other story was the apparent change of heart by president trump's former personal lawyer, michael cohen. cohen once said he'd take a bullet for the president. this wee he toldabc news, quote, to be crystal clear, my wife, my daughter, my son, and this country have my first loyalty. joining me is the president's current lawyer, rudy giuliani. welcome back to "meet the press." >> thank you very muchpp to be with you. >> you'd said the fourth of july was basically a deadli of sorts, for you to determine whether or not you'd rnd president trump sit down with robert mueller. it is now past the fourth of where do we stand? >> well, i think we're pretty much decided where we are. we await the decision of the independent counsel. weom would not rnd an interview for the president unless they can satisfy us, that there's some basis for this investigation. it is our firm belief, and we think

the senate intelligence committee in the u.s. supporting a finding that russian vladimir putin meddled in the 2016 campaign. prefveloped a clear erence for donald trump. there is a report that epa administrator scott pruitt directly asked president trump to fire attorney general jeff sessions so he could take his job. said trump advisors immediately shot down the idea that came at a time when the president had considered replacing sessions. global news, 24 hours a day powered by more than 2,700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am emma chandra. this is bloomberg. emma.thanks, focus onnism and the the u.s. and the u.k. for now, that is the view from john roe -- but back to discuss what it means for yield curves and portfolios, the inevitable end. it cannot go on forever. john: what will cause this period of extreme to come to an end? cyclical inflation is an important factor. the u.s. has given unemployment down to levels not seen since the late 1960's. how long can it stay before it forces the fed into tighte

senate panel says u.s. intelligence agencies are right and russia did interfere with 2016 presidential election with the aim of helping then candidate donald trump. the report by the senate intelligence committee says the scope of russian interference has only become clearer since the campaign. republicans on the house intelligence committee say that the assessment is driven by corruption and politics. a senate panel also concluded that russian president vladimir putin personally ordered the efforts to influence the campaign. >>> new details this morning on the stretch of highway 1 in big sur that's been closed due to a massive slide. cal trans plans to have it back open by july 20th. the slide buried the road and wiped about a quarter mile section. this is well ahead of the initial reopening date in the middle of september. crews have been working to get this fixed. the price tag fort repairs, $54 million. >>> good morning. i'm meteorologist frances dinglassan. we have the coastal clouds spilling into the north bay across santa rosa and the peninsula coast. temperatures in the 50s, but cooler in some spots. clearlake 53, san francisco 56, san jose 58 and los gatos 48 degrees. highs from near

u.s. intelligence agencies come out and said they did it, but the senate intelligence committee has come out said they did it and we just had this incredibly detailed indictment about not just who did it but how they did it, when, on which computers and using which bitcoin. the detail we have on this makes his unwillingness to acede to the facts here makes it more than just lying. that's a lie that you know you don't get away with, which makes it something new. >> and to stand there on that stage today and try to get away with it, to try to get away with it right no front of all of these reporters, each of whom on the american side anyway, were capable of dismantling it and making it fall apart before our eyes. >> yeah. i feel like he is almost insisting that he will get away with it. it is almost sort of a bullying move in terms of the truth. i mean, there is no yquestion that he is not telling the truth about something and that we all know it. nobody is persuaded by him asserting this contrary set of facts anymore. and yet he continues to insist and now further insists on it as if he's sor

u.s. intelligence agencies. one of the ranking democrats on the senate intel committee is asking the director of national intelligenceo deliver to congress a detailed assessment of whether kim jong-un is willing to take concrete measures to significantly reduce his country's nuclear weapon stock pile or accept international inspections. u.s. intel agencies have detected secret facilities north korea, where it has increased its fuel. and u.s. spies believe that kim and his regime is working on plans to deceive the international community about i.t. nuclear facilities, the number of weapons it possesses and the state of its ballistic missiles program. a spokes person told msnbc, we have received the letter and will respond to the senator directly. >>> rob rosen stein has asked for help in vetting the president's supreme court nominee. he asked all united states attorneys to review the documents for brett kavanaugh. who is going to replace anthony kennedy. rosenstein said he needed the people to go over the appointment. it's a broad request. that usually has career department lawyers and highlights a growing concern amo

u.s. senators going to russia. around same time bipartisan support by the u.s. intelligence committee said vladmir putin did order his intelligence services to interfere with our election. i grew up in the era where russia was an enemy and i think these conservative republicans were talking about still see russia as an enemy. what has changed that they're not an enemy? seems to me that these conservative republicans like george will and mr. boot may be on to something? >> it is same thing with kim jong-un. if a democratic president was making nice with vladmir putin or meeting with dictator of north korea, a lot of these republican lawmakers would be going bonkers because they are falling into line. not to say we can't have a constructive relationship with russia. it is hard. this will come home in terms of media coverage when the president meets with putin one-on-one after nato meeting. hard for many to understand why the president isn't a little tougher on russia, particularly on the question, proven beyond a doubt meddling in the 2016 election. adam: howie kurtz, thanks for joining

u.s. intelligence community has concluded that the russian leader putin was trying to help donald trump when he meddled in the 2016 election, something the senate intelligence committee on a bipartisan basis recently backed up. if that's not enough, you can hear it straight from the source. we're talking about the russian president vladimir putin, who specifically said in helsinki at that joint news conference with the president that he wanted donald trump to beat hillary in the election. hillary clinton. listen to this. >> president putin, did you want president trump to win the election, and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that? >> translator: yes, i did, because he talked about bringing the right u.s./russia relationship back to normal. >> all right. senator mike rounds is joining us right now. he's a republican from south dakota. he's a key member of the senate armed services committee. senator, thanks so much for joining us. >> appreciate the opportunity, wolf. >> so what do you think of the president's claim this morning in that tweet that the russians are going to be working very hard in the midterm elections in november to help democrats g

we begin with a new bipartisan report from the senate intelligence committee, which unequivocally backs up the findings of the u.s. intel agencies that russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election with an eye toward helping donald trump win. specifically the committee said it agrees with the conclusion that russian president vladimir putin ordered an influence campaign for the u.s. election, that the kremlin had a clear preference for trump, that it discredited hillary clinton and contrasted her unfavorably to trump, and that by july 2015, russia had already obtained access to democratic national committee networks. the senate committee also said the intelligence agencies' overall findings were well-supported and said there was no evidence of political motivation. this is very different than what we've been hearing from the house intelligence committee. that committee ended its inquiry in march saying the intel agencies had failed to prove their conclusions about putin's attempts in favor of trump. tonight president did not mention russia nor this new senate report. but he's not been silent about russia and t
